Synopsis

In a single June meeting in 1912, the past of Lancaster County stepped into the present. History lives in the margins. Issued as Volume XVI, No. 6 of the Papers Read Before the Lancaster County Historical Society, "History Herself, As Seen in Her Own Workshop" captures historians at work, examining records, weighing evidence and preserving memory. Created within the Lancaster County Historical Society of Pennsylvania, these historical society papers form a vivid strand in early 1900s American history, revealing how local scholars understood lancaster county history and the wider story of pennsylvania local history as it unfolded around them. For the curious reader, it is intimate primary source history; for the researcher, it is a grounded academic history reference and genealogy research resource. Alongside its value to family historians tracing pennsylvania genealogy records and to students of lancaster county pennsylvania, this volume enriches any local history collection with the authentic voice of those who first safeguarded the county's past. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Perfect for readers drawn to careful historical research methods, for lovers of pennsylvania local history, and for collectors who prize original context and unfiltered archival detail in the unfolding record of Lancaster County history.
